Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Chi-Jen Chu checked the 
turn and then called a bet worth 180,000 by Wai Leong Chan. The 
fell on the river and Chu now pushed all-in for 429,000. Leong asked for an exact count and folded thereafter.
The same table brought another big pot soon after in which Paul Phua skyrocketed near the top of the leaderboard as Day 1 nears an end. According to the table, Phua had flopped a full house while Kannapong Thanarattrakul held trips and that left the latter on fumes.
